Sam Warburton has been recalled to the Wales starting XV for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations fixture away to Scotland on Saturday, but Ryan Jones is retained as captain.

Blues flanker Warburton is one of three changes to the team, with Paul James (Bath) and Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys) also back in the fold.

Warburton replaces Justin Tipuric at open-side flanker, with James taking over from Gethin Jenkins at loose-head prop after the Toulon man failed to recover from a calf injury picked up in the victory to Italy.
